His was the cheap distinction of unsuitable clothes. "Ha! Miss Ferriby, glad to see you," he said as he entered, holding out a hand which had the usual outward signs of industrial honesty. Joan shook the hand frankly, and its possessor passed on. "Is that the gas-man?" inquired Major White, gravely.
Then ensued a search similar to that which Willis had carried out in the depot at Ferriby, except that in this case they found what they were looking for in a much shorter time. In the office was a flat roll-topped desk, with the usual set of drawers at each side of the central knee well, and when Willis found it was clamped to the floor he felt he need go no further.
This amendment had been made in view of the fact that Lord Ferriby was in the hotel, and was, indeed, at this moment partaking of a solemn breakfast in his private sitting-room overlooking the Toornoifeld.
The next morning, therefore, the two detectives again engaged a taxi and ran out along the Ferriby road until they met a large blue lorry loaded with barrels and bearing on its side the legend "Ackroyd & Holt Ltd, Licensed Rectifiers." When it had lumbered past on its way to the city, Hunt called to the driver and ordered him to follow it.
Will you and Mr. Roden accept this sum, dividing it as you think fit, and hand over the works to me? We ask, you to take it no questions asked, and go." "And Lord Ferriby?" suggested Von Holzen. Major White made a sudden movement, but Cornish laid his hand quickly upon the soldier's arm. "I will manage Lord Ferriby. What is your answer?"
My notion was that if we could make a list of the Girondin's Ferriby arrivals and departures, say, during the last three months, and if we found she ran her trip regularly, we could forecast when she would be next due. Follow me?" "Rather." "I had no trouble getting out my list, but I found it a bit disappointing.
He had a gentle eye, and lips for ever parting in a mildly argumentative manner. The other two paper-makers appeared to be foreigners. "Ah'm thinking " began the mild man in a long drawl; but he was promptly overpowered by his fellow-countryman, who nodded curtly to Mr. Wade, and said "Lord Ferriby?" "No," answered the banker, calmly.
He thinks it is good practice for the platform, I am sure. We were all" she paused and banged her energetic fist down upon a pile of folded circulars which seemed to require further pressure "very proud, you know, to know you." "Good Lord!" ejaculated White, fervently. "Well, why not?" asked Miss Ferriby, looking up. She had expressive eyes, and they now flashed almost angrily.
There he rang up the police station at Selby, asking for a plain-clothes man and two constables to meet him at the train to make an arrest. Also he asked for a fast car to be engaged to take him immediately to Ferriby. He then called up the police in Hull, and had a long talk with the superintendent.
He realized that Benson's amendment was probably arranged by Archer on the previous evening. He saw why the Girondin had left the Lesque without her full cargo, and why she was loading barrels at Ferriby. He knew who it was he had seen passing in the other train as his own reached Doncaster, and he grasped the reason for Archer's visit to Selby.
